AB - The purpose of this dissertation was to explore the current level of continuing education provided for primary care doctors about the psychological treatment of people infected with the human papillomavirus (HPV). A diagnosis of a sexually transmitted infection like HPV can cause significant psychological, social, and medical consequences. Primary care doctors are in a unique position to detect, diagnose, and treat HPV on each of three levels, medical, psychological, and social. This review involved an exploration of integrated primary care in treating an HPV diagnosis. A critical evaluation of medical education on HPV for primary care providers was conducted to evaluate the level of psychological and social education available for providers. Continuing medical education (CME) on HPV should address the psychological and social components of HPV as well as the medical sequelae. The integration of psychological services in primary care is essential when treating HPV in order to improve treatment adherence to follow-up care, increase patient satisfaction, and decrease reoccurrence. Utilizing the expertise of both medical and mental health professionals is the best method to meet an HPV positive patients needs. The data collected in this study indicated that the psychological and social education on HPV available for medical providers in online continuing medical education is low. Current HPV research and advice from HPV medical experts indicated that addressing the psychological and social components of an HPV diagnosis is essential for comprehensive care. Thus, psychosocial HPV education must be integrated into current medical education to ensure medical providers can begin to address the emotional sequalae of HPV. If time and training inhibits providers do integrate psychosocial care into the medical appointment, a referral for a mental health specialist is strongly advised. The data collected in this study support an integrated model of care: physical, psychological, social, and education to meet the unique needs of HPV patients.
